ABSTRACT

When he was savaged by his angel in the desert - quite alone: when he dreamt his sacred ladder - Jacob’s pillow was a stone. When Isaac saved his father from the glamour of his death: unbinding mortal sacrifice - he had song upon his breath. When Eve stretched for the apple and bit into her desire: she brought forth human history - from all that holy fire. O happy for stone and bind and tree :- to have borne the blazing of these three!
